Pay attention to what lights your fire!

January 31st, 2014 Leave a comment Go to comments

After teaching my Boomers Back to Work! class for CTWorks! I received an interesting email from one of the participants. She was making doll clothes–something she had done 25 years ago-and wondered if it was “wrong” to be doing something that made her feel alive and fulfilled. I told her “No!” And then we brainstormed about ways this could be part of her search plan and how she might be able to sell her product. Never turn away from the things that you enjoy doing–but learn how to balance that with the practical side–how are you going to make money? Create a written plan, get feedback on it from others, and see what happens. Making things is almost always rewarding. Let that be part of your search.
